N ECKTIE-LININ G FABRIQ Application filed March 9,

This invention relates generally to fabrics, and refers moreparticularly to an improvement in a fabric which is especially designedfor necktie linings to be, used either in machine or hand made ties,

Primarily, the invention comprehends a fabric from which suitably shapedstrips are adapted'to be cut to serve as tie linings, which liningswhile not materially increasing the 1 cost, present a better appearingand more salable article when incorporated in the finished tie. Theinvention further contemplates a tie lining fabric woven in such amanner as to provide longitudinally extending areas having respectivelywarps of different grades or characters and a filling of the same gradeor-character so that when the material is cut transversely or on thebias to intersect said areas, the end or ends exposed forexaminationwhen incorporated in the tie present a better appearanceand'hence render the tie m'ore' salable. 4 Y

The invention furthermore comprehends a tie lining having transverselyextending lonitudinally spaced areas respectively of different grades orcharacters.

More specifically, the invention comprehends a necktie lining composedof a woven integral piece of material having areas at one or both endsthereof which are of a different grade or character of material than theremaining area. 1

With the above recited and other objects in view, reference is had tothe following description and accompanying drawings, in,

which there is exhibited one example or embodiment of the invention,while the claims define the actual scope of the same.

- In the drawings: Figure 1 is a plan view of a length of the materialillustrating in broken linesthe manner in which the same is cut toprovide the necktielinings. p

. Figure 2 is a perspective severed lining strips. Figure 3 is aperspective view of one of the stripp' gs which are produced between anadjaccnt pair of lining strips.

Referring to the drawings by characters of view ofone of the 1929.Serial No. 345,742.

reference, the fabric includes longitudinally extending areas A, B andC, the former area being made up of warp threads 5 and weft threads 6which may either be of the same grade or character of material or ofdifferent grades or characters of material, such as, for instance, thewarp threads 5 may be made of cotton and the weft threads 6 of wool. Inpractice, the distinction between the grades or characters of thethreads may lie in the use of a combination or plated yarn, such asrayon and wool or rayon and cotton. The areas B and C are composed ofwarp threads which are of a distinguishing grade or character withrespect to the warp threads 5 of the area A, and in practice the weftthreads 6 will be the same in all areas. It thus follows that when thematerial is cut transversely or on the bias, as indicated by the brokenlines D, lining strips E and strippings F are produced in which thelining strips E are provided of an integral woven material having theareas A, B and C, the former being of a different grade or characterfrom the areas. B and C at the opposite ends thereof. When the liningisincorporated in the finished tie, the ends B and C which may be exposedfor examination present a better appearance and hence render the articlemore salable. In this manner, it will be apparent that at a very slightincrease in cost, the result sought is attained. For instance, manynecktie lin ings are constructed entirely of cotton fabric throughout,and in the present instance by weaving cotton warp threads in theintermediate area A and wool or a more expensive thread as the warp ofthe areas B and C with a cotton filling or weft threads, the oppositeends or areas B and C of the strip E which may be exposed forexamination will show as a cotton and wool mixture. On the other hand,if the warp threads 5 of the area A are'cotton and the warp threads 7 ofthe area B are wool and the weft threads are all wool,

the lining strip E which is produced will show at its opposite end areasB and C which may be exposed for examination an all wool effect.

The strippings F which result from the shaping of adjacent cut strips Emay be used in the usual manner to reinforce the neck band engagingportion of the tie.

From the foregoing, it is to be understood that the applicant desires toconvey by the term differentgrades or characters any difference in thecost of the threads that are used in weaving the material, as well asany other differences which may be covered by the term.

What is claimed is:

1. A necktie lining fabric woven with longitudinally extending areas onehaving a warp of one character and a weft of another character and theother areas having warps warps of one of said areas to definelongitudinally arranged areas of said lining of 7 different grades orcharacters.

4. -A strip of fabric for necktie linings comprising a body with acentral longitudi- 'nal section formed of yarns of different materialsand side sections of yarn of the same material.

"5. A necktie lining comprising three integral sections, the endsections being composed of warp and weft threads of the same materialand the central section having warp and weft threads of a differentmaterial.

6. A necktie liningcomprising three integral sections, the end sectionsbeing composed of warp and weft threads of the same material and thecentral section having warp and weft threads of a different material,one of which is similar to the threads of the end sections.

7 A woven necktie lining fabric including longitudinallyextending areashaving warp threads of a character different from the weft threads, oneof'said areas having warp and weft threads of the same character.

8. In a woven necktie lining cut in a strip from a fabric havinglongitudinally extending areas with warp of different grade and afilling of the same'grade.

9. A'necktie lining fabric woven to form londitudinally extending areasof different kinds of fabric which when out transversely into stripswill provide a necktie lining having its ends of a different kind offabric from its medial area.

10. A necktie lining fabric having woven as an integral unitlongitudinally extending strips of different kinds of fabric.

11. A necktie liningfabric including lon- 'gitudinally extendingintegral central and marginal areas formed of diiferent kinds of v of adiflerent kind of fabric from the remaining marginal areas.

13. A necktie lining composed of a woven integral piece of fabric havingareas at o posite ends of a different kind or character rom the medialarea thereof.

14. A necktie lining comprising three intethe end areas being composedof
